In several discussions about music, several posters bring in Red Dirt Music to the conversation.
In this thread, I'd like to do things a little different to help people learn about our favorite artists, and post a couple of youtube videos of their song and your personal favorite playlist of that artist.
Feel free to include your own contributions, but follow the format. Videos of live performances, and list a few of your favorite songs.
I've met a few of these guys and have had beers with some of them, so I'll share stories and nuggets that they've told me. It's fine if you have a different take of the same artists or offer a different playlist.

That is surprising. I absolutely love it and have had it on repeat for the last week. Any country singer that can reference getting high and playing Golden Eye on N64 in a song has won in my book. [Reply]
Any of you guys into Shooter Jennings, Waylon's son? I'm not much into this red dirt style of music but some of it is okay. We're going to see him this weekend with some friends in Joplin (I think). [Reply]
Not really red dirt. In fact, not red dirt at all, but I don't know where else to put it.
This is Rhiannon Giddens. She does bluegrass, jazz, Americana, whatever. I don't really get into a lot of those genres, but her voice is really really good. And she is really really good. Look her up. She's spectacular, man.
Dug her up because she's the background vocals on this song. She can really belt it with a lot of soul.
